You breaking your heart
You thinking I care
People say I'm jealous but my kink is karma"

Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, known professionally as Chappell Roan, is an American singer and songwriter from Missouri. Working with long-time collaborator Dan Nigro, her music is inspired by 80s synth pop and early 2000s pop hits.
Her aesthetic is heavily influenced by drag queens and her music has been called "campy."
When she was 17 years old, Roan uploaded a song titled "Die Young" to YouTube. In 2017, she signed with Atlantic Records, and released her debut extended play (EP) School Nights. Her 2020 single "Pink Pony Club" helped Roan rise to prominence, and she left the label that same year.
After a series of independent releases, her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, was released through various record labels in 2023.
